OPERATION
It is only possible to operate the logger after the Logchart-II software is installed to a PC, according to the steps described in
Logchart-II Software section of this manual. The communication between logger and PC is performed with the aid of the IR-Link
wand.
Requirements:
A PC system or a Laptop with Windows
®
2000- or XP
CD-ROM device
A free USB interface (or optinal a RS232 port)
The logger must be “waken up” before communication is attempted. To do so, press once the Start/Stop button. The logger starts
flashing the Status Indicator according to its current status:
One flash every four seconds (stand-by) indicates the logger is waiting to start measuring or that a series of measures was
concluded and the logger is waiting for a new command.
Two flashes every four seconds indicates measures ongoing.
To minimize battery consumption the logger deactivates the LED’s and the communication interface after about 30 seconds of user
inactivity. To reactivate it press again the Start/Stop Button
The logger operation mode set up is defined in advance by using the LogChart-II software. Each setting must be defined and the
consequences observed. The logger starts and stops logging as defined in settings.

Drivers and software installation
In the Ir-Link3/RS232 model there is a RSR232/Ir communication interface. It must be connected to the serial port at the PC.
In the Ir-Link3/USB model there is a USB/Ir communication interface, which must be connected to the available USB port. Windows
will request the proper driver installation, which is found in the CD-ROM that is provided with the logger.
The drivers installation steps may vary according to the machine, even for the same version of an operating system. The following
screenshots and steps are only to provide guidance.
1. Insert the CD shipped with the logger in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Connect the communication interface IrLink-3 to the PC USB port. Windows® will
acknowledge the presence of new hardware and a few seconds later it will start
the driver installation process.
3. The “found new hardware wizard” will be displayed, and you will be asked if you
want to install the driver from the Windows Update website. Select “No, not this
time”,
and
then
click
Next.
4. Select “Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)” and click “Next”.
